No promises but I know someone connected to the public affairs world who specialises in advising law firms in the uk so knows lawyers who can see odd angles in cases. He has been involved with some crazy cases over the years. If he cannot help he will know a man who can. I will come and listen in manchester and then see if I can get to see him next week. He is also a former labour party 'attack dog' from 1997 when they were popular so he may know some people in govt too.
